I am in need of an ANSI standard C compiler for my Amiga. Are both Lattice and Aztec currently ANSI standard? If not, which one is if either?

If not, which one is if either? Thanks much! Neither compiler is is 100% ANSI compatible, although Lattice (and I believe Manx also) have ANSI compilers for MSDOS machines. I hear that the upcoming SAS C version 6.0 for the Amiga will be an ANSI compiler, with many of the features of the MSDOS 6.0 version. It's a pity Lattice/SAS discontinued development of the MSDOS C compiler, which I use also. It's a fine product. -- _ |__ Alex Matulich (alex@bilver.UUCP) /(+__> Unicorn Research Corp, 4621 N Landmark Dr, Orlando, FL 32817 //| \ UUCP: ...uunet!tarpit!bilver!alex ///__) bitnet: IN%"bilver!alex@uunet.uu.net"

If not, which one is if either? Thanks much! If you need ANSI compliance *now*, and you have a bit of memory, say >2 meg, you could use one of the GNU C ports to the amiga. This is a case of "compiler in kit form", still. You need to track down other software to use with it, like a linker. I'm looking forward to SAS/C compliance to the ANSI standard. I've recently changed my development procedure. I use SAS/C to debug my code, because CPR is such an *excellent* debugger, but then I use GCC for the production code. The optimizer for GCC produces code that works! In one case, GNU Chess, I was able to produce a smaller executable with GCC than with SAS/C, even though GCC was expanding simple functions inline instead of generating calls to them. To be fair, the executable from SAS/C was done with the optimizer off, but it generated an executable that didn't do anything if I turned it on... For a chess program, speed is important. ben@epmooch.UUCP

In SAS/Lattice C 5.10 there is some sort of flag you can set so it
will conform to ANSI C standards. It should be listed in the setoptions
program.
